Last show you binge watched?
Berlin Babylon. I love historical period shows, especially from the 20’s and 30’s. The series is a Neo-noir crime drama that takes place in Berlin in the late 20’s. The costumes, architecture and sets ooze with decadence, glam, and mystique.
Coolest vintage piece in your house?
The last (and only) time I went to Morocco, I found these beautiful clay antique tagines. I have been looking for more to add to my small collection. I love that my collection has color, is hand-crafted and is unique to the country.
Ultimate style icon?
I would consider my style to be an elevated boho chic. Kate Hudson is my go-to for her effortless fashion look, not to mention an amazing female role model, mompreneur and boss babe.
Pet peeve:
The answer: “No.” As a designer, we need to be problem solvers with “yes” energy. I just cannot take “no” for an answer, and will relentlessly dig for the solution until I feel it is resolved.
What’s a current trend you hope doesn’t exist in 100 years?
I must say…coffered ceilings. I am really not a fan. I would take wide shiplap on the ceiling and beams any day over formal square boxes.
